[Cl...] Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The XXT on one of my Conturas while moving towards a measurement, stopped and began to vibrate rapidly. I grabbed the stylus, it stopped, then it started again. Anyone ever see this before? I had to re-boot Calypso to get it work.

[Ri...] Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Something loose? There is nothing mechanical inside of the XXT, so it would have to be from the RDS or machine itself.

[Al...] Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 This has happened to me a couple of times during a measurement run. I sorta remember the explanation being "it was still looking for the feature to be measured", or something to that extent.

[Za...] Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I am having the same issue with one of our Contura G2 vast XT heads. Clarke, Did you or anyone else know why it is doing this?

[Cl...] Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I have not had it happen since then. I did end up replacing that XXT, but for a different reason.

[St...] Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I had what I think is a similar problem. My Z axis would vibrate when I was out nearer the end of travel. Sometimes the machine would error out and other times is would pause and then continue measuring. I ended up cleaning the Z axis rail by wetting it down with alcohol and moving it up and down several times. It seems to have stopped for the time being (hope I didn't just jinx myself) Steve Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/17816-xxt-vibrating/#findComment-100052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
